World Wide Web's Top 3's

With the ever stiff competition among Internet websites, the frequently asked question now is whether who tops them all with regard to traffic, users, income, applications and a lot more. To finally end all the hustle here are the top threes of the world wide web.

We will start off with the top three search engines of the web according to popularity. Google ranks number one followed by bing and third on the list is Yahoo!. Google has 650,000,000 - estimated unique monthly visitors, bing and Yahoo! has 165,000,000 and 160,000,000 respectively.

The top three social networking sites on the web are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Facebook now has 550 million users, Twitter has 180 million and LinkedIn has 100 million.

What Happened To Friendster?

I can still remember when Friendster was in its hey days. My first account on the web aside from my email, of course, is with Friendster. It was the granddaddy of social networking media, let us admit it, even before MySpace and Facebook has taken over the limelight. It functions like Facebook and has a lot of applications too. It allows its users to build connections of friends, upload photos and videos and enables comment sharing and a lot of other things.

Let Us Backtrack A Bit

My past blog posts have been articles with topics related mostly to social net working. I have been using the names of major networking sites many times. Facebook for example. I have been mentioning this major social networking site in almost all my posts. In fact I have been tagging it several times. My blog is focused on this topic so I will only be writing articles related to it. Social networking is quite a broad and relatively interesting topic. But I acknowledge the fact that eventually I will find it hard to write interesting articles or my articles would just get boring since I'm just talking about the same thing over and over without even noticing it. Those are problems commonly encountered by a lot of bloggers especially those who have been in the business for a long while. So I will backtrack a bit. I will be talking about how these social networking sites came to be. Before these social networking sites became almost indispensable these days, we will look at how they were created. So how was that? Still boring? =)
